When trying to connect to the telescope it does recognise that it's there

would indicate the scope is working.
Have you tried on a real PC with a real com port ( as that will confirm absolutely if its the scope or not )
There is a factory test routine that can be run, but you need a special loopback cable to run it.
There is a also a bug in the ASCOM drivers that can result in timeouts if there is no response within 5 seconds.
To test for that, you can try to connect using my PEC editor ( grab the beta at the bottom of the page )

It uses native comms to try and detect a Meade scope, and doesnt fail on small timeouts.
You could always run that and see if it finds the scope
( save the log file for reviewing if it does )
